After coming out of Suzhuang Pavilion, Qin Peng immediately went to Linglong Restaurant. After booking a room, she asked Chunsu to go to a nearby willow tree and carve the room number.

When Jiang Yi married Qin Shuhuai, she contacted Lu You in this way. Lu You looked at the room number on the willow tree and should come over.

Sitting in the private room, Chun Su looked at Qin Peng, who was in a much better mood, and asked in confusion: "Master, why are you so strange today?"

"Because," Qin Peng ate gracefully, "I need to meet someone who can help me."

As they were talking, the window was slammed. Chunsu was frightened and let out a scream, but Qin Peng stopped her by saying, "Shut up!"

Lu You came in from the window. Qin Peng put down his chopsticks and said to Chun Su, "Go out."

"Master... this... this..."

Chun Su couldn't make up her mind for a moment. Qin Peng was a widow, and she was alone with this strange man...

"Get out." Qin Peng glanced at her coldly. Chunsu bit her lip, lowered her head and hurried out.

Lu You and Qin Peng were the only ones left in the room. Lu You leaned against the bed, crossed his arms, and asked directly, "What's your relationship with the young lady?"

"Jiang Yi has been dead for three years, right?"

Hearing this, Lu You's expression changed, and he looked at Lu You with a smile, like a fox: "Little Youzi, have you never thought about her?"

Hearing this, Lu You's expression changed drastically. Although the girl in front of him had a different face, her smile had not changed at all.

Lu You opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. An unthinkable guess was swirling in his mind. Qin Peng lowered his eyebrows, lowered his head to drink tea, and then said, "Lu You, do you believe in reincarnation?"

If it were someone else, Qin Peng probably wouldn't dare to say such a thing.

But Lu You is different.

Lu You's loyalty to Jiang Yi is enough to make him believe all the unbelievable things.

Qin Peng raised his head and said gently, "Although I am dead, I am back. Lu You, do you believe it?"

"You..." Lu You's eyes were hesitant. After a moment, he quickly asked, "What was the first thing you said when you saw me?"

"Wow, this guy is really handsome."

Qin Peng was a little embarrassed. Lu You's eyes were red, and he asked several questions in succession. After Qin Peng answered them all, Lu You suddenly knelt on the ground, with red eyes and excitedly said: "Miss!"

"Don't cry," Qin Peng said lazily, holding the heater, "You are so old, what are you doing?"

"Yes, yes..." Lu You knew that she didn't like him crying, so he quickly put away his expression and said after thinking, "Miss, you came to see Lu You now. Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Qin Peng nodded and quickly explained the current situation.

Wei Yan listened to her with a serious expression. After Qin Peng finished speaking, Lu You pondered for a moment and finally said, "Actually, I am responsible for killing Wei Yan."

Qin Peng raised his eyebrows, and Wei Yan thought of a way and said, "Qin Shuhuai has been having people monitor Wei Yan's movements. Wei Yan will arrive in Beijing in about four days. We will ambush Wei Yan on his way to Beijing. There will be a total of 400 people, all of whom are top-notch masters. We will ensure that Wei Yan will not be able to escape even if he has wings."

"Where did you start?"

"Ghost Weeping Forest."

Lu You took out a map from his sleeve and pointed out the location to Qin Peng. "Wei Yan was in a hurry to get back this time, so he didn't take the official road, but walked along the small roads. His current route to Beijing must pass through the Ghost Crying Forest. There are few people there, so it is easy to ambush. It is a perfect opportunity to take action."

Qin Peng nodded. She looked at the map and found a river beside the Ghost Weeping Forest. The river was connected to the moat. Qin Peng pointed at the river and said, "Your ambush position should be closer to this river."

"That's not a problem," Lu You frowned, "The problem is that I am responsible for this matter. Once the news leaks out, Qin Shuhuai will definitely suspect me. This is one reason. The second reason is that Qin Shuhuai is very alert. If he is around, any unusual movement of mine will be detected, and this will be difficult to accomplish."

Qin Peng didn't say anything. She looked at the table and thought for a moment before saying, "What if I hold him back? I hold him back, have more contact with him, and then reveal that the information was all guessed by me and revealed to me by him. What about this?"

"Can."

Lu You nodded, and Qin Peng felt relieved: "Then let's do this. I'll be with Qin Shuhuai. I'll have people ambush in the Ghost Crying Forest in advance. You just need to ambush near the river and don't try too hard."

"Don't worry, Miss." Lu You responded, "I will take care of this matter properly."

"Yeah." Qin Peng smiled and looked up at Lu You, but he discovered something: "You have been under Qin Shuhuai for so long, but you never used a respectful title to address him?"

Lu You pursed his lips, his expression solemn. Qin Peng was a little confused as to why Lu You suddenly changed his expression. Lu You seemed to think for a while, and finally said: "After the young lady died, I went to investigate this matter."

"oh?"

Qin Peng was not surprised at all. If Lu You didn't investigate, then there would be something fishy going on.

However, the result of the investigation seemed to make Lu You very unhappy. He lowered his eyes and spoke with a cold tone: "It was done by Qin Shuhuai's people."

Qin Peng didn't say anything. She took a sip of tea and looked totally unconcerned. Lu You was a little surprised: "Miss, do you know?"

"I guessed it," Qin Peng said calmly, "Back then he married me just for the Jiang family's influence in the north. Now that the Jiang family has fallen, why would he keep me around?"

"But he can't...he can't do that!"

Lu You shouted angrily: "You are married to his wife legitimately, how could he treat you like this!"

"Why not?" Qin Peng laughed out loud after hearing what Lu You said, and looked at him with tenderness in his eyes. That tenderness seemed to have been baptized by time, and brought with it the coldness of having experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"Xiaoyou, for some people, nothing is unsacrificable for the sake of power."

Did Qin Shuhuai love Zhao Peng back then?

Loved it.

Qin Peng smiled as she recalled that at least when Zhao Peng died, Qin Shuhuai hugged her tightly and cried bitterly, and his tears were real at that time.

He should have loved her, but for this man, love and power were probably not worth mentioning. He could still cry while poisoning the person he loved, let alone Jiang Yi and Dong Wanyi, who were just a name and whom he had never met before?

She vaguely remembered that when she became Jiang Yi after her first death, she still hated Qin Shuhuai and always wanted revenge, so she sent Lu You over and planted a group of people around him.

But after dying twice and being reborn, she only had a few memories and pity left for Qin Shuhuai.

There was not much hatred, nor any love to speak of. She just felt like he was a stranger. She knew his desire for power, understood his pursuit of power, and felt sympathy for him.

What a poor person! He has spent his whole life on this.

Without much hatred, he had nothing to cling to and only wanted to escape from Qi and return home as soon as possible.

Although Beiyan was not very good to her, her brother, her only relative, was still waiting for her in Beiyan.

After taking the last sip of tea, she stood up and called Chunsu in.

"It's settled," Qin Peng raised his hand and put on his cloak, and said to Lu You, "I'm living in the Wei family now. If you come to see me in the future, just leave a mark under the willow tree in front of the Wei family's gate. We can meet here at this time on the fifth day of the lunar calendar."

Lu You nodded, and Qin Peng walked out. When he reached the door, Qin Peng suddenly remembered: "Who did you buy this rouge for? Is there really a girl you like?"

"No..." Lu Youzhang blushed and lowered his head in a hurry. Qin Peng did not ask any more questions, walked out the door, and said directly: "Go to Huai'an Palace."

"Master..." Chun Su was a little nervous: "What's wrong with you now? In the past, you would hide when you saw a man. Today, not only did you meet the young master just now, but you also want to meet the King of Huai'an. This..."

"Chun Su," Qin Peng leaned against the carriage, hugged the heater, and closed his eyes to pretend to be asleep: "Do you know why I asked you to call me by a different name?"

Chun Su was a little confused, and Qin Peng said slowly: "If you want to live well, the previous Qin Peng will not work."

"Chunsu, you have to understand," Qin Peng slowly closed his eyes: "Now, I am already the eldest princess."
